Quest for the Stone, Summer Expedition 2014

Come cogs one and all to this year’s expedition to the Alberta wilderness. This year we will quest for ancient aboriginal petro glyphs at Writing-On-Stone Provincial park. One of the group camping sites is booked for our use on the weekend of June 21-22nd. The site includes a camp shelter and other basic facilities. The cost of the site will be divided amongst those attending.

Activities will include a tour of the Petro-glyphs, hiking in the hills and for those who dare swimming in the river. A look at a local outpost of the NWMP may also be possible for those who wish.

If any of you have dingy's, a fun activity is to be dropped off at the Rodeo grounds and float down the river to the campground. We will have a pick up truck to haul those who are interested in a lazy trip down the Milk River to the rodeo grounds.

We would like to go too, but the school calendar may take precedence that weekend. I'm going to say we are going since there's no 'maybe' option, just in case. We have a family-sized tent and would be looking after our own food as well (always enough to share, of course)
Cheers!

I have a screen tent, Big tent for 4, air matress {twin}, propane heater, stove, lights, cot, tarp, picknick table, cooler, can also get any number of free styrofoam fish boxes at anyones request ( ill clean out the smell).

Steampunk simply embodies a time and a place. The time... the late 19th century, the place... a steam powered world, where air travel by fantastical airships and submarines is as common as traveling by car, train, or boat It's a place where national boundaries and interests are vastly different than our own version of history, where the elegant and refined are as likely to get pulled into a grand adventure, as the workers, ruffians, and lower classes. The idea of space travel is not so far fetched; lost civilizations are found and lost again. Anything is possible, and science can be twisted to meet ones own ends. Visually speaking, there are many references to use for the creation of a Steampunk costume and character. The following are a small sample of classic movies that have inspired Steampunk; Sherlock Holmes, 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, Around the World in 80 Days, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Steamboy, Van Helsing, Wild Wild West, and the Golden Compass... You get the picture. Remember you can come as Doyle's Steampunk version of Professor Moriarty or “Lost Worlds” Edward Challenger or as someone from the pages of history or literature. The sky's the limit. Use your imagination and have fun.
